Not sure that really suits the car.

I reckon the diffuser is just temporarily removed to fit the tailpipes. Looks like they would exit through the original holes in the diffuser. Personally if I were selling a car I'd take some decent photos (hint hint).

I'm not so sure about that. Look at how far further across that right pipe is.

Looks like the TVR Power super sports system to me - The same one as I've just ordered. Surely the diffuser is just missing in the pic?!

Nope, the diffuser is not missing. This is how the owner 'wants' it to look.

I saw the car at LeMans looking exactly the same. Initally thought it had been crashed.

Agreed, it looks hideous! But more to the point, isn't he ruining the aerodynamics of the car by removing the rear diffuser?
